So far nobody has been able to explain to me what the actual need for the 
multislot "switch" for gcc in our main portage tree is. I'll be happy to be 
taught why this isnt just lazyness and/or power play.

Having multiple gcc's of same *minor* version (i.e. 4.8.1, 4.8.2, ...) 
installed at the same time for testing purposes is a valid use case, but way 
more exotic than e.g. running KDE git master. Code our users imho shouldnt 
even see by default. -> overlay

Over the years many related bugs have been filed, but they tend to magically 
enter RESOLVED state without any substantial changes to reality.
